Significant Accounting Policies	1. Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation Citi Trends, Inc. and its subsidiary (the “Company”) is a growing specialty value retailer of apparel, accessories and home trends primarily for African American and Latinx families. As of October 30, 2021, the Company operated 600 stores in urban, suburban and rural markets in 33 states. The condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting and are unaudited. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring in nature, necessary for fair financial statement presentation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 30, 2021 is derived from the audited financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 30, 2021 (the “2020 Form 10-K”). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2020 Form 10-K. Operating results for the third quarter of 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year as a result of the seasonality of the business and continued uncertainty surrounding the economic impact of the novel coronavirus, including variants of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the duration and extent of any economic stimulus programs. Fiscal Year The following contains references to fiscal years 2021 and 2020, which represent fiscal years ending or ended on January 29, 2022 and January 30, 2021, respectively. Fiscal 2021 and 2020 both have 52 -week accounting periods.

COVID-19 Update
COVID-19 Update	2. COVID-19 Pandemic ​ In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the spread of the COVID-19 a global pandemic. ​ The pandemic has resulted in periods of disruption for the Company, including the temporary closure of stores and limited store operating hours, reduced customer traffic and consumer spending, and delays in the manufacturing and shipping of products. The Company saw improvement in its financial results and positive trends during the latter half of 2020 and through the first three quarters of 2021 as governments eased restrictions and provided economic stimulus, along with the acceleration of vaccine distribution, leading to an increase in spending and increased customer demand. ​ The Company expects continued uncertainty in its business and the global economy due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including potential volatility in employment trends and consumer confidence, current or future restrictive actions that may be imposed by governments or public health authorities, the duration and extent of any economic stimulus programs, supply chain interruptions, increased distribution and transportation costs, increased payroll expenses, and increased costs to maintain safe work and shopping environments. The impacts of the pandemic have had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. The Company will continue to monitor the effects of COVID-19 and take the necessary actions to serve our associates, customers, communities and shareholders. ​

Cash and Cash Equivalents/Concentration of Credit Risk	3. Cash and Cash Equivalents/Concentration of Credit Risk ​ For purposes of the condensed consolidated balance sheets and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities at date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents in what it believes to be high credit quality banks and institutional money market funds. The Company maintains cash accounts that exceed federally insured limits.

Earnings per Share
Earnings per Share	4. Earnings per Share ​ Basic earnings per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share amounts are calculated using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the additional dilution for all potentially dilutive securities, such as nonvested restricted stock. During loss periods, diluted loss per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding because the inclusion of common stock equivalents would be antidilutive. ​ The dilutive effect of stock-based compensation arrangements is accounted for using the treasury stock method. The Company includes as assumed proceeds the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services and not yet recognized. For the thirteen weeks ended October 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, there were 38,000 and 134,000 shares of nonvested restricted stock, respectively, excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because of antidilution. For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, there were 38,000 and 150,000 shares of nonvested restricted stock, respectively, excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because of antidilution. ​ The following table provides a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share to the number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding used in calculating diluted earnings per share: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Thirteen Weeks Ended ​ October 30, 2021 October 31, 2020 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding ​ 8,706,219 ​ 10,364,842 Incremental shares from assumed vesting of nonvested restricted stock ​ 80,668 ​ 36,311 Weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding ​ 8,786,887 ​ 10,401,153 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended ​ October 30, 2021 October 31, 2020 Weighted average number of common shares outstanding ​ 9,081,240 ​ 10,419,557 Incremental shares from assumed vesting of nonvested restricted stock ​ 97,325 ​ 24,549 Weighted average number of common shares and common stock equivalents outstanding ​ 9,178,565 ​ 10,444,106 ​

Fair Value Measurement
Fair Value Measurement	5. Fair Value Measurement Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market at the measurement date. Fair value is established according to a hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels, which are described below: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs. Level 2: Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs are used when little or no market data is available. Level 3 inputs are given the lowest priority in the fair value hierarchy. As of October 30, 2021, the Company’s investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity since the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investments to maturity. Such securities are carried at amortized cost plus accrued interest and consist of the following (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Gross Gross ​ ​ ​ ​ Amortized ​ Unrealized ​ Unrealized ​ Fair Market ​ Cost Gains Losses Value Short-term: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Corporate debt securities (Level 2) ​ $ 28,676 ​ $ — ​ $ (34) ​ $ 28,642 ​ Obligations of states and municipalities (Level 2) ​ ​ 6,786 ​ ​ — ​ ​ (3) ​ ​ 6,783 ​ ​ ​ $ 35,462 ​ $ — ​ $ (37) ​ $ 35,425 ​ ​ ​ The amortized cost and fair market value of investment securities as of October 30, 2021 by contractual maturity are as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Amortized ​ Fair Market ​ Cost Value Mature in one year or less ​ $ 35,462 ​ $ 35,425 ​ ​

Impairment of Assets
Impairment of Assets	6. Impairment of Assets If facts and circumstances indicate that a long-lived asset or operating lease right-of-use asset may be impaired, the carrying value is reviewed. If this review indicates that the carrying value of the asset will not be recovered as determined based on projected undiscounted cash flows related to the asset over its remaining life, the carrying value of the asset is reduced to its estimated fair value. There was no impairment expense recorded in the first thirty-nine weeks of 2021. In the first thirty-nine weeks of 2020, non-cash impairment charges related to an underperforming store totaled $0.3 million, comprised of $0.2 million for an operating lease right-of-use asset and $0.1 million for leasehold improvements and fixtures and equipment. ​

Revolving Credit Facility
Revolving Credit Facility	7. Revolving Credit Facility In October 2011, the Company entered into a five-year , $50 million credit facility with Bank of America. The facility was amended in August 2015 and May 2020 to extend the maturity dates. The facility was further amended on April 15, 2021 to modify terms and extend the maturity date to April 15, 2026. The amended facility provides a $75 million credit commitment and a $25 million uncommitted “accordion” feature that under certain circumstances could allow the Company to increase the size of the facility to $100 million. The facility is secured by the Company’s inventory, accounts receivable and related assets, but not its real estate, fixtures and equipment, and it contains one financial covenant, a fixed charge coverage ratio, which is applicable and tested only in certain circumstances. The facility has an unused commitment fee of 0.20% and permits the payment of cash dividends subject to certain limitations. Borrowings under the credit facility bear interest (a) for Eurodollar Loans, at a rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate plus either 1.25% , 1.50% or 1.75% , or (b) for Base Rate Loans, at a rate equal to the highest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5% or (iii) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0% , plus, in each case either 0.25% , 0.50% or 0.75% , based in any such case on the average daily availability for borrowings under the facility. The Company had no borrowings under the credit facility as of October 30, 2021.

Income Taxes
Income Taxes	8. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. If there is a change in tax rates, the Company would recognize the impact of such change in income in the period that includes the enactment date. For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, the Company utilized the annual effective tax rate method to calculate income taxes. The effective income tax rate was 21.5% for the first thirty-nine weeks of 2021, compared to 23.2% for the first thirty-nine weeks of 2020. The difference in the effective income tax rate was primarily due to a favorable tax impact of restricted stock vestings in the current year, partially offset by an increase in pretax income compared to the same period of 2020.

Once it becomes probable that the Company will incur costs in connection with a legal proceeding and such costs can be reasonably estimated, the Company establishes appropriate reserves. While legal proceedings are subject to uncertainties and the outcome of any such matter is not predictable, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings pending or threatened against it that it expects to have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Revenue	11. Revenue Revenue Recognition The Company’s primary source of revenue is derived from the sale of apparel, accessories and home trends to its customers with the Company’s performance obligations satisfied immediately when the customer pays for their purchase and receives the merchandise. Sales taxes collected by the Company from customers are excluded from revenue. Revenue from layaway sales is recognized at the point in time when the merchandise is paid for and control of the goods is transferred to the customer, thereby satisfying the Company’s performance obligation. The Company defers revenue from the sale of gift cards and recognizes the associated revenue upon the redemption of the cards by customers to purchase merchandise. Sales Returns The Company allows customers to return merchandise for up to 30 days after the date of sale. Expected refunds to customers are recorded based on estimated margin using historical return information. Disaggregation of Revenue The Company’s retail operations represent a single operating segment based on the way the Company manages its business. Operating decisions and resource allocation decisions are made at the Company level in order to maintain a consistent retail store presentation. The Company’s retail stores sell similar products, use similar processes to sell those products and sell their products to similar classes of customers. In the following table, the Company’s revenue is disaggregated by “CITI” or major merchandise category. The percentage of net sales for each CITI within the merchandise assortment was approximately: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Thirteen Weeks Ended ​ Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended ​ ​ October 30, October 31, October 30, October 31, ​ ​ 2021 2020 2021 2020 ​ Kids 26 % ​ 24 % ​ 22 % ​ 22 % ​ Women 25 % ​ 26 % ​ 27 % ​ 27 % ​ Men 17 % ​ 17 % ​ 18 % ​ 17 % ​ Beauty & Accessories 17 % ​ 15 % ​ 17 % ​ 16 % ​ Home & Lifestyle 8 % ​ 10 % ​ 8 % ​ 9 % ​ Footwear 7 % ​ 8 % ​ 8 % ​ 9 % ​ ​

Leases
Leases	12. Leases The Company leases its retail store locations and certain office space and equipment. Leases for store locations are typically for a term of five years with options to extend for one or more five-year periods. The Company analyzes all leases at inception to determine if a right-of-use asset and lease liability should be recognized. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and leases with mutual termination clauses are not included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The lease liability is measured at the present value of future lease payments as of the lease commencement date. Total lease cost is comprised of operating lease costs, short-term lease costs and variable lease costs, which include rent paid as a percentage of sales, common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance for the Company’s real estate leases. Lease costs consisted of the following (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Thirteen Weeks Ended ​ Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended ​ ​ October 30, 2021 ​ October 31, 2020 ​ October 30, 2021 ​ October 31, 2020 Operating lease cost ​ $ 13,320 ​ $ 12,453 ​ $ 39,384 ​ $ 36,918 Variable lease cost ​ 2,685 ​ 2,333 ​ 8,264 ​ 6,458 Short term lease cost ​ 213 ​ 355 ​ 775 ​ 1,172 Total lease cost ​ $ 16,218 ​ $ 15,141 ​ $ 48,423 ​ $ 44,548 ​ In response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s operations, the Company suspended certain lease payments in 2020 under its existing lease agreements. During the suspension of payments, the Company continued to recognize expenses and liabilities for lease obligations and corresponding right-of-use assets on the balance sheet in accordance with the applicable accounting guidance. The Company continues to engage in discussions with landlords regarding the potential restructuring of lease payments and rent concessions. As of October 30, 2021, the Company negotiated contractual rent concessions on many leases in the form of early renewals, rent deferrals and rent abatements. The Company elected to account for qualifying COVID-19 related rent concessions as if they were part of the enforceable rights and obligations under the existing lease agreements, as permitted by the updated guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board in April 2020. As a result of this election, the Company recognized rent abatement credits of approximately $0.1 million and $0.8 million during the thirteen weeks ended October 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, respectively. Future minimum lease payments as of October 30, 2021 are as follows (in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fiscal Year Lease Costs Remainder of 2021 $ 10,694 ​ 2022 ​ ​ 54,646 ​ 2023 ​ 47,252 ​ 2024 ​ 38,686 ​ 2025 ​ 28,346 ​ Thereafter ​ 48,062 ​ Total future minimum lease payments ​ ​ 227,686 ​ Less: imputed interest ​ ​ (17,155) (1) Total present value of lease liabilities ​ $ 210,531 (2) ​ (1) Calculated using the discount rate for each lease.
